Ask HN: What do you still do manually in 2026 that should be automated?

I'm researching pain points around manual workflows that haven't been automated yet.

Specifically looking for tasks where: - You do the same thing 5+ times a week - You've looked for a tool but nothing good exists - You'd pay $10-20/month if something just worked

What's yours? Curious to hear both technical and non-technical answers.

    I have nothing that fits that criteria exactly. I still write tests for test automation manually and that should be automated but new tests are only needed as features are created or retired, which is irregular and infrequent.
